Once you have the bulk of the water out, you’ll need to run blower fans for 24 to 72 hours to remove moisture.

Regular HVAC filter changes, deep cleaning, and air quality monitoring help maintain a healthy environment.

DIY is not recommended due to the complexity and potential structural issues. Hire professionals for thorough and safe repairs.
